Preface, intro and chapters on the plants of the world from Wheat to Spices and Condiments over 391 heavy, glossy and profusely illustrated pages. 12 colour plates. All the illustrations are from photographs. Maps have been added showing the distribution of the principal cultivated plants. The text is brilliant but the sheer weight of the volume has taken a toll on the covers and the hinges are weak. Nevertheless the cloth covered boards are still in good condition and the gilt titles on the spine are clear. Small name and address on front endpaper. EXTRA POSTAGE.
